It’s always been a dream of mine to live in one of those 100 year old craftsman homes in Los Angeles’s oldest neighborhood, Angelino Heights. They’ve always seemed just out of reach, so I was stunned and thrilled when I saw this 3 bedroom beauty built in 1908 hit the market at a relatively down to earth price of $1,395,000. While I’m not house hunting at the moment, I’m hoping one of my friends might be interested in this classic craftsman so I may selfishly come visit that glorious front porch every once in a while.
I mean, isn’t it lovely? The natural wood floors and the gorgeous wood beamed ceiling? And the beauty doesn’t stop there. You’ll love fall in love with all the flourishing cacti and the insanely charming stone walls that guide you up to the welcoming covered front porch. The freshly painted light green exterior paint combined with a slightly creamy white trim, the wood, the brick fireplace, and, of course, the sprawling cacti all combine to create some of the best curb appeal of 2024, even 110+ years after the place was first built.
Inside, the craftsman charm and the incredible craftsmanship continue. You’re greeted by an open living room and dining nook as you enter into this light-filled home.
Period details abound and include original windows, warm hardwood floors, and charming built-ins throughout.
The adorable chef’s kitchen has plenty of custom cabinetry that reaches the ceiling.
Plus, a terra cotta tiled backsplash and counters, modern industrial light fixtures, and brand new top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, plus a nicely cozy center island with eat-in seating for two. and nice garden views from the kitchen windows.
Head upstairs to find the cutest little hallway with a great workspace, and easy outdoor access to the greatest second story balcony.
Imagine taking in the sights, sounds, and views of this peaceful historic neighborhood daily. I’m sure it’s wonderful throughout the day but I’m positive it must be absolutely electric at night. There’s also a second balcony on the other side of this level which provides a lovely space for morning coffee with verdant views of the historic neighborhood.
The second level has two two large and sun-drenched bedrooms.
Both bedrooms have ample closet space and coved ceilings.
These beautiful bedrooms share a full bath with vintage details and an original clawfoot bathtub.
Back downstairs, the layout is completed by an additional bedroom.
And a ridiculously charming second full bathroom with a second clawfoot tub.
The flat, fully enclosed backyard is absolutely lush and has been freshly landscaped.
The landscaping design makes for easy upkeep and the stone elements add a rustic quality to the property’s unique Southern California craftsman vibe.
The backyard is also excellent for al fresco entertaining with easy access to the kitchen and its fully enclosed attribute makes worrying about kids or dogs running off a non-issue.
Let’s face it, 1030 W Edgeware Road offers quintessential California Craftsman living with style and substance that only a 100 year old bungalow in this particular neighborhood in this particular city can have.
And this neighborhood makes commuting a breeze because it’s centrally located to Downtown and close to all the local ho spots including Echo Park Lake, Cookbook, Quarter Sheets Pizza, the revamped Little Joy (have you been yet? An open air Little Joy, who would have thought this twenty years ago?), and so much more.
And while we’re here why not take one more look (before you see it in person) at this spectacular cactus plant which must be as old and wise as this breathtaking craftsman home itself?
